The first cutting shall occur no later than May 30, the second cutting no later than June 30, the third cutting no later than July 30 and the fourth cutting no later than August 30 of each and every year. Any property or portion of a property used for agriculture purposes is exempt from this section. If noxious growth is not controlled or weeds and grass are not cut in compliance with this section, the Town Manager or his or her designee shall give notice to the owner or person in possession of such property that, within five days from the date of such notice, all weeds, grass or other noxious growth be cut from such property. Should any owner or occupant fail to comply with such notice, the Town Manager or his or her designee shall proceed to have such weeds or other noxious growth cut, and the owner or person in possession of such lot shall be responsible to the town for the cost thereof.
